Medical simulation system and its computer program

Abstract

A medical simulation system includes a biological response inputting section that receives input of biological response information indicating an actual biological response of biological body, a biological model generating section that generates a biological model for reproduction of simulated response simulating the actual biological response, a pathologic condition characteristics acquiring section that acquires pathologic condition characteristics information indicating characteristics of pathologic condition of the biological body based on the generated biological model, and an outputting section that outputs the biological response information and the pathologic condition characteristics information.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to an auxiliary medical simulation system and its control system. Background technique: [0002] When treating a disease, in addition to the doctor's consultation, various examinations are also performed on the patient. Moreover, doctors often choose treatment methods based on patients' examination results and clinical observations, and rely on their own experience and understanding. [0003] Therefore, if the computer can provide useful information for diagnosis and treatment, it can be expected that the doctor's diagnosis and treatment will be more effective. As a system for assisting diagnosis and treatment, as described in US Patent Application Nos. 6,421,633 and 5,971,922 respectively, there are systems for predicting blood sugar levels. These systems assist in diagnosis and treatment by predicting changes in a patient's blood sugar levels and providing predicted blood sugar levels to doctors. [0004] In choosing the app...

Problems solved by technology

However, "blood sugar level" is nothing more than a result in the final analysis. Pathologies such as insufficient insulin secretion, peripheral insulin resistance, decreased glycogen uptake, and hyperglycemic release that lead to this result are difficult to accurately grasp from the above clinical observations.

[0006] Therefore, it is still difficult to accurately grasp the patient's pathology only by providing doctors with predictive values ​​of blood glucose levels such as US Patent Nos. 6,421,633 and 5,971,922

In the case of diseases such as diabetes and heart disease, specialists often use the results of oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), electrocardiogram, blood pressure, pulse measurement, and blood tests to diagnose the patient's pathology. Extensive experience, difficult for non-specialists
